SAMANTHA IS BACK :DDDDD
OOH I MISSED YOU!

my blog has finally been updated after a zillion million-ish year!
* whispershelloi'vemissedmyblogquiteterribly * :D

I've been working as an english tuition teacher lately at a tuition centre, i just realised how much of a joy it was to be teaching. hahha! perhaps i'd consider teaching as a future career prospect ;D

Well,the kids are such a bundle of joy there, not affected by the world, yet in some way affected, its contradictin but i meant affected as in that they now request for things like PSP etc. I don't even own one yet! But then again they are not affected or influenced by the world in the sense that its still so easy to make them laugh, just scaring them will make them roll over the floor laughing. Playing with them and teasing them really make their day, and yours too!

I sat in for some other lessons to learn, and yesterday I started my first official lesson without any other teacher inside, really, it was a delightful experience, I had an extremely enjoyable and fulfilling time teaching them. Teaching isn't just a profression after all. Just simple games and comprehensions which required them to act, they participated gleefully!

However, today was rather different. I stepped into class a little more confident, cos I knew the students that I was going to teach today, having co-tutored them in christon's class. To my horror, Naomi stapled her finger, I don't mean one finger to another I meant, she stapled a bullet into her finger, it bled pretty much and she was trying to stoically show her brave side, then jinwen brought her to wash her hand, and put a plaster. Then, Nigera waterfalls started, ok im exaggerating, but really I got real freaked. She started sobbing real hard, terribly hard, and I felt mumsy hugging her and stuff, she went out of class for awhile and Minghao comforted her, along with more hugs from me. Later, I played games with the other two, then Naomi came in with Minghao, and he was holdin the tutor assesment file. OH THE HORROR! just when my heart broke from seein Naomi cry, and realizing my class was crazy. I felt extremely depressed. The stuff they did ranged from one sitting on the chair to another on the table, and another on the floor. OH THE HORROR! and they refused to copy notes. I was oh so thankful that we ended the lessons on a pretty okay note.

However, I became rather upset after that, I know teaching isn't a one shot- you'll do it well experience, but honestly I was depressed, I didn't understand why and how. Had a short talk ok it wasn't exactly short, but yea i talked to minghao about it, and he gave some suggestions, so did samuel, when he talked to me. I felt and am feeling much better, I realised something, back then, I thought of what kind of teacher I wanted to be, I realised I didn't want it to be just a teacher student relationship but a friend friend relationship and thats what I forgot. I was so busy planning on how to deliver the lesson and making it fun, that I forgot this. I am going to be better next lesson, and my lovely students! YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT ;DDD

THANKS BE TO GOD (:
